Get Application Summary

Once the user has been authenticated, it is likely that the user would then expect to see some form of online application launch page. It is also likely that returning users would expect to view or update any applications they have saved or submitted previously. To implement this kind of scenario, the online application user interface can request from AAWS the application summary information for the logged in user and then display this information on the launch page.

For first time users, the online application does not display saved or submitted application information. For these users, the online application can display options for creating a new application or for logging out.

A typical self-service, online-application user interface might perform the following actions:

  • Formulate a request message.

  • Submit the request message to the SAD_GETAPPLS service operation.

  • Receive the application summary response message from AAWS.

  • Based on the application status, present each application to the user in a grid style format for subsequent actions.

  • Typically, applications which are in a Submitted status are not eligible for update and a user interface would need to enforce this rule depending on the institution's requirements.
